IDLE FANCIES.


In the dreamy dusk ~h-n the dying day
seems slowly, solemnly passing away,
IT'S sweet to sit in The silent gloom
And dream of the days that are yet to come.
IF the strange wierd fancies that idly fit
chro' the busy brain. as we idly sit.
While watching the fire-light's fitful glow
Could only the power of the pencil know,
What beautiful scenes would slowly arise
From the nenciled page TO our wondering
avas:
But m.rh,nks the .4sre.. of all would be
The pictured dreams OF futurity.
For the sunlight of hope can never cast
Its radiant rays DER the vanished past
Der the future alone she deigns to shine,
And lend the light of her life divine.
But the ''strange wierd fanciss" have gossme'
wings,
One canuot imprison the song bird sings;
And pictures, what are they, but lifeless and
cold, -.
When they lack the pure breath OF the life
giving soul.
But still it is sweet, In the fire-li2ht's glow,
As these idle fancies doth come and go,
To sit in the softly gathering gloom
And dream Of the days that are vet to come.

GLASS PLANT
For Making Cathedral Giass-A Company In
vestiSates the Question and TALKS OF
Locating IN wichita.

| It will be remembered that some days ago
an account was given of a number OF gentle
men who had decided to establish a glass
paut near this city for the manufacture OF
window glass. Another company has an eye
on this city for the manufacture OF cathedral
and roledpiate glass.
| A gentleman of this city who has lately
! been in Illinois brings encouraging news
| from some glass men at Oltowa anu Strea-
| tor A member of one Of the glass compan-
les at the first mentioned city visited Wlch-
tia some months ago and made an examina-
| ton of some sand to be found near four miles
south Of the city. He said that it was highly
suited to making cathedral glass, ana
thought it could be made here and sold at a
| profitable figure. That kind OF glass is made
ut present by only three plants i'll the United
| states It commands good market, and
in fact is coming into favor wherever 1t Is
known. A large amount is used in the west
and freights and breaksge work against the
companies manufacturing it, This TACT
caused the company i'll Ottawa to look for
suitable site for a western plant. One OF the
favorable features in making that kind OF
glass is that very little or no skilled labor is
Required The process is simple and each de-
partment can be managed by low priced
men. This places the glass in the hands OF
tue consumer at reduced price.
The gentlemen considering the question
say that they arc using process which mas
decided tendency to solve the fuel question
for the west. Coal is converted into gas by
a very cheap process and the gas is bnrned'
given heat at cost reduced nearly one-half.
This plan the company uses at Ottawa
Another kind of fuel is being tested IL Is
gained by burning oil and hydrogen which IS
secured from steam. 1t has been tried i'll O
pot and gives perfect satisfaction. ltreduces
the price of fuel four fifths.-= $50 -------
Ofcourse these gentlemen look with inter
est upon the natural gas experiments going
to be made near the city. AS natural gas !;
the cheapest fuel in the world if it could bt
found in a desirable quantity the fuel ques
ton would be solved Whether natural ga
is found or not the company afiirnis thai
they can use one of the processes referred tt
above and succeed with plant for making

TWO HUNDRED TaOUsAN1
Dollars to be put into Tannery and Boot and
Shoe Factory by Chirago Company.

A gentleman from Chicago who has been
for several years connected with ths leather
and boot and shoe business, has been in the
city for the past few days quietly investigat-
ing the proposition of locating here an estab-
lishment for the manufacturing of the raw
material into leather, and the leather into
boots and shoes.
| This city has been prominently before the
capitalists with whom the Chicago gentleman
| Is connected, as suitable location for such
an industry, and he is prepared to report a
much better prospect than he and his friends
had anticipated
i The location Of the new stock yards caused
the company to hasten an investigation. A
packing house company is figuring on a
location near there, which if established will
furnish hides for tannery. The two COM
paniei have the question under contempia-
ton and their expressions of the situation
are decidedly encouraging to say the least.
The representative of the tannery has bought
two hundred feet on the northeast corner Of
Second and Mosley avenue.
| If ARRANGEMENTS for the tannery Is COM
pleted the company will locate the boot and
shoe factory at that point. The BUILDING
will have a front of 200 feet and be 40 feet
deep and four stories high. The building
will be brick with iron front. Ground mas
also been secured for running switch IN the
rear of the building from Mosiey avenue
The company thinks that the demand in this
section and the points that can be supplied
| from here, will give employment to three
hund ed hands in the tannery and factory.
| The capital stock will not be less than $2oV,
900 All the machinery in both plants would
be of the latest and most improved style
The exact location Of the tannery is not
known but it will probably be near the stock
yards.
